[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An interesting encounter

The picture is a little burned due to a very bright sun, alas the model was not very patient with me, and the encounter was unexpected.
Sorry that the focus is also not that good, I forgot to think at that moment.

As far as I can tell it's a Vipera ammodytes.

Vasile,
Looks like a DIAMOND rattle snake.
Very highly TOXIC.
Excellent register.
Congratulations from Mario in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

great pic of the whole viper, TFS Ori

Salut Vasile
Interesant, am vazut de cateva ori vipere, de tot atatea ori au fugit din calea aparatului foto! Intradevar, uneori soarele prea puternic poate crea probleme. Poate multi or zice ca fotografia asta nu are prea multa parte artistica, dar, la intalniri din astea, nu totdeauna iese si artistic!
Toate cele bune,
Oana

Salut Vasile
Intr-adevar este vorba de o vipera cu corn (vipera ammodytes). Fotografia este de apreciat datorita raritatii intalnirilor cu vipere (au fost prinse de localnici pentru a fi vandute pentru colectarea veninului). Felicitari!TFS
